[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bottom line: there's a hierarchy in this world. If I went ivy, I got a better education than you. My luxury car is better than your Ford. My exotic vacation is better than your day at a nearby beach. My million dollar bank account is better than your overdrawn one.

It is what it is .[/quote]

Sure. But the point is that you don't have to go to an ivy league school to get a job where you will eventually make millions of dollars. Isn't that what everyone is saying in this thread?[/quote]

True! Just like I don't have to buy a Benz to get from Point A to B, but I CAN! So I DO! And those who CAN'T will continue to make posts about how my Benz and their Hyundai both take us from Point A to B. It's not that black and white. There are so many more benefits to having the Benz (ivy degree) over the Hyundai (non-ivy degree). And the fact that I can have the Benz while you drive the Hyundai also says a lot about who we are and our live experiences, expectations, preparation, etc.

Ivy vs. non-ivy is much more nuanced than most want to admit. Actually, I think they realize how nuanced it is. That's why they beat that dead horse every chance they get. Just accept some can go to the Benz dealership to get a car and others will have to go to the Hyundai lot.[/quote]
